CHESTER PENFIELD, NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT. Letters Patent No. 85,7 5 9, dated Janua/ry-12, 1869.

INIPROVEMENT IN DQOR-BELLS.

The Schedule referred to in these Lettera Patent and makingl part of the same.

' ings, in which the same letters indicate like parts in each ofthe gur'es.

The nature .of this invention will vbe understood from 1 the specification and drawings, in which- Figure l is a face vievn.

Figure 2'is a side view.

Figure 3 is a 'partial face View, with the cap o removed.

Figure 4 is an underlside view ofthe plate or driver n,

a is the plate to which the mechanism is attached or secured.

b b are stud-posts, in which the hammer-spindle c is arranged, and vibrates by means of a spiral spring, d, upon said spindle, one end of which takes its bearing against the stud-pin b', and the other end against a pin, e, in the spindle c.

The obj ect of this arrangement is to hold the ham,

mer f in close proximity with the rim of the bell Without striking the bell, except when actuated by impellingoree.

g are guide-ways or posts, in, through, or between.

which the actuating-bar h plays.

' This bar is provided with a reacting-spring, i, one end of which takes its bearing against a shoulder or bossl formed on said bar, and the other against the stud g', so that when acted upon by the pull-spindle, inthe ordinary Way, the rod will be reacted to its restingfplace by the spring t.

This bar is also provided with a boss, k, the ofce of A which is to actuate the driver,

m is a driver, which Works between the studs or guides g, and is held in place by the cap o.

Upon the under side of this driver is arranged a vibrating cam, p, upon the pin r, which is allowed to vibrate in either direction until the corner :t strikes the protuberanee x'.

This driver: 'm is held or actuated to its position at a stump just in rear of theI driver7 while its arms take bearing against the prongs s, on the under side of the driver fm.

ated or vpulled in the usual way, the boss lo will act first against oneside of the cam p, to throw back the driver until itpasses the point thereof, when the driver m, with accelerated action, strikes the back end of the hammerspindle c, and produces a stroke upon the bell, which is repeated successivelyeach back-and-forth action of the spindle, thus holding each and all the parts firmly in place for use, rendering it moreV compact, cheaper of manufacture, less liable to get out of order, and more convenient for use. I believe I have thus shown the nature, construction, vand advantage of this invention, so as to enable others smiled in the art to make and use the same therefrom.

What I claim, therefore", and desire to secure by Iletters Patent, is

The combination of the driver m, having the cam p attached thereto, in its relative action with the Vibraftory hammer j c and spindle h, arranged and constructed substantially as and for the purposedescribed.
